Friday Things #424
1. This week we got back a little bit of normalcy. First up was the return to swim lessons. The kids hadn’t been there in 15 months and it was the first time Isabelle was in the pool without me; they all were SO excited and did wonderfully!
2. I also got my hair cut and colored for the first time since January 2020 and omg did it need it! My head feels 10 pounds lighter, ha!
3. We’ve been enjoying a lot of playtime, coloring, being outside, and being free of schedules (mostly) for the summer. I’m happy to report that summer break is still feels glorious as a parent!
4. It takes literally only one or two days in the upper 80’s with humidity to make me ready for fall weather. We went out onto the deck one morning earlier this week and Joseph said, “It’s SO HOT, I feel like I’m inside a pot of pasta!” He clearly takes after his mother 🤣
5. What a wonderful story this is! It completely warms my heart to see young people being so thoughtful and generous.
6. No-bake cookies are the perfect summertime treat!
7. This post really filled my heart with joy, especially after reading the comments about who other people are drawn to helping ❤️️
8. Does anyone use Clickup for managing tasks/projects? How do you like it?
9. Super excited for the new seasons of Yellowstone and Bosch this month!!
10. TGIF! Love our little snuggle bugs :)
I’ve never heard of ClickUp before but if you need the integration of all the other software it’s likely useful. I use an app called Any.Do for list making. I use the free version and find it quite useful. It’s essentially a list app and the user can sort by today, tomorrow, upcoming, and someday. You can add notes to each item on your list, assign things to a day, and make an item recurring (i.e. do laundry every Friday? put “laundry” on there and assign it to Friday’s. Now every Friday, Any.Do will list “laundry” as a today item). You can arrange the order of your list and cross things off as you go. It does have some form of calendar integration but I haven’t tried that yet. It works well for me, especially when I’m busy.
What an adorable bathing suit on Isabelle. She has the best hair.
Hope you have an amazing Summer. Glad you got your hair cut and are going back to support those that really need our business and support.
Always enjoy your Friday posts!! Your children are adorable! I am with you….these HOT days (usually with the awful humidity) is NOT my thing! Give me spring or fall. (but do like things about summer)
Enjoy the weekend!

Ahhhhh, I remember the days at Goldfish swim school. My boys loved it!
I love seeing your Friday post.
I love your sweet comments about your precious children and your beautiful dogs! Thanks for being upbeat, positive, and sharing interesting and helpful things. Love your recipes too!
Aww thank you so much for the kind words, Judy! xo
Hi Michelle!
I so enjoy your Friday Things! Your Isabelle looks so darling in her little swimsuit! Do you mind if I ask where you bought it? I’m in search of one like it for my 2 yr old granddaughter. Thanks!
Hi Lynne! Not at all! I got that swimsuit from Hanna Andersson (it’s on sale right now): https://www.hannaandersson.com/girls-clothing-swimsuits/65755-PU9.html?dwvar_65755-PU9_color=PU9&cgid=girls-clothing-swimsuits
Oh how I can agree with you on cooler days! When June arrives I start counting down to Fall. My favorite time of year is when the temperatures drop through to when things start warming up. I love cold weather! It comes from being raised in SF. Love the pictures, recipes and stories y I u share!
Stay cool 😎!
